  1. PSTSDK -- Apache-licensed code from Microsoft to read Outlook files. Covered by Microsoft's Open Specification Promise not to assert related patents against users of this library.
  2. Cheap Android Tablet -- not multitouch, but only $136. Good for hacking with in the meantime. (via Hacker News)
  3. Real-Time Collaborative Editing with Websockets, node.js, and Redis -- uses Chrome's websockets alternative to Comet and other long-polling web connections.
  4. XMPP Library for Node.js -- I'm intrigued to see how quickly Node.js, the Javascript server environment, has taken off.
